LOL, thanks guys!
Actually the bars forming the ring are actually magnetic field project to
change the direction of the thrust, much like what NASA is proposing to do. The
yellow w/ red stripes tanks are, guess what, ACTUALLY fuel tanks ;-). And the
white tanks or tubes inside is where the fuel is combined, ignited, and pushed
out to the back. TA-DA! That basically how it works. Now please don't point out
any mistakes, or errors I made, cause this is a very, very simplified
and made-up explanation of my engine. And don't even get me started on the
heatsinks, injectors, etc. cause I still have to build them....
'KAY!!!!
Mladen Pejic, over and out!
